[@DavidPackouz]

Thanks for having me on guys 🙏

[@DavidPackouz]

​@@Druggernautt my pleasure! And thank you!

[@jose.taveras]

great storyteller

[@Guidus125]

Random question: how did you manage to be featured in the movie? (ie the guitar playing scene in the retirement home). Was that something you proposed to the film producers, or did they always plan on including you in a scene?

[@eblman5218]

I am certain you still have a great ability to sell. Glad you have found things that you are more interested in. It could be worth proposing a new movie called "War Dogs II" about Biden's new wars in Ukraine+Russia, Israel, and soon to be Yemen, and potentially China. Only thing is it would likely take you back into that environment...

[@Bsilbs]

So are you and Efraim going back into business with the Ukraine and Gaza wars? Is there a sequel in the works? 😂😂

[@CarlosMendez-gd2zm]

Every time he mentioned Efren, I just visualized Johna Hill 😂

[@joshgomez7522]

Ya lol

[@biscaynesupercars]

I think everyone did lol

[@dawnfmEnthusiast]

about an hour in, and this is by far the most fascinating guest you've had on. Congratulations on being creative with the guest selection here! Pleasantly surprised. I was getting tired of the same old roster - this is such a breath of fresh air.

[@anthony212459]

I never supplied war lords I just supplied the federal government. 😂😂

[@DavidPackouz]

Same difference 😜

[@georgetterobinson01]

​@@DavidPackouz it really is lol 😂😂

[@tigreytigrey8537]

All of you dummies supply the government too geniuses its called TAXES. We all fund the government.

[@owynpham1478]

The ultimate warlords 😂

[@Gabri3lRocha]

Can you guys add more ads please. Like atleast 50 more. You guys aren’t putting enough ads in the video.

[@Dan16673]

Agree I like a little interview w my ads

[@19erickpana]

😂😂😂

[@dawnfmEnthusiast]

use the sponsor block extension broski.

[@Gabri3lRocha]

@@dawnfmEnthusiast I got premium but I’m talking about the in video ads

[@dawnfmEnthusiast]

@@Gabri3lRocha yeah same, i have premium too. but then for in-video sponsor ads, i use the free chrome/browswer extension called Sponsor Block. it'll automatically detect those in-video sponsor ads and skip it for ya. big game changer.

[@Lance7Allen]

The amount of ads on this podcast is insane.

[@wisepelican9818]

Came here to say the same. Boooo

[@johnmorrison7205]

press l on keyboard to skip 10 seconds

[@amberlee6878]

Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. I wouldn’t mind the same amount of ads if more of them were clustered together only a couple times during the video, but having 1/2 every 5 minutes.. not cool.

[@anubisgod23]

Tbf it's 3 hours long lol

[@highnw2034]

Agreed

[@cfmcelderry]

This is the greatest insight into the military industrial complex in America!

[@user-xp5id1kh4r]

How specifically is this insightful "into the military industrial complex" outside of extremely basic knowledge and terms used in federal contracting that could easily be found within a day of research?

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

​@@user-xp5id1kh4r go pretend to be an expert somewhere else. Nobody even knows who you are lmao.

[@Dan16673]

It's not at all.

[@etherealradar]

GET MATT COX ON. Dude has a true crime podcast, wrote the books on these guys that turned into war dogs. Was recently on Lex Fridman. You know this, just ask him on.

[@Skedirahm]

Dude, his pod on Lex Friedman was the truth. That was the shortest 6-hour podcast ever.

[@AllanYacaman]

That was a treat

[@WarDogsAcademy]

Amazing experience! So glad to have met you guys.

[@keeganapodaca8852]

Thank you all for doing this!!! I’ve been wanting to get into government contracting since I saw the movie. Just signed up.

[@DavidPackouz]

​@@keeganapodaca8852 awesome!! Let's go!!! 🙌

[@KapinKristo]

This is great!

[@dawnfmEnthusiast]

What an incredible story; so eye opening

[@secro80]

Great team!!!

[@AlbinoWhiteGuy]

Graham and Jack really are great at interviewing, you can tell they always do their homework before an episode 🤘

[@TheIcedCoffeeHour]

Thanks!!

[@CleaveBritneyAlone]

What a great and engaging interview! Can’t believe its been three hours felt like an hour.

[@TheIcedCoffeeHour]

Thank you!

[@joshtua]

Ephraim is literally Eric Cartman

[@DavidPackouz]

This is something people who know him have been saying for years

[@celtekrider2]

It really is a trip how great you guys are at picking people that you interview. There is a few that I personally find boring, but most guest on the Iced Coffee Hour are very very interesting. Keep up the great work you guys 👏

[@RealtorMitchRussell]

Definitely the most interesting guest that has been on this podcast.

[@DavidPackouz]

Thank you 🙏

[@eblman5218]

Agreed. I am impressed with his ability to communicate very clearly and talk with great detail about things that happened 20 years ago, like it was yesterday.

[@sebwarren9892]

100 % agree.

[@Colyers]

Your ads are killing the flow

[@funster5031]

Ehh I don’t think so… ever listened to Joe Rogan on Spotify? like 3 minutes of ads

[@ColombianLNP]

Woah ! Would never expect him on. This is definitely going to be a great podcast! Cheers from your biggest fan in Colombia amigos!

[@Hhhhh12864]

If it has no effect on the ad revenue why don’t you guys just do all the ads at once. Every podcast I have listened to has all their ads back to back and you either watch it or skip it. If it has no impact on the amount of money you get, you guys should consider it. However I don’t think it’s a huge deal just a pain to get taken out of the podcast all of a sudden. All in all great podcast I enjoy it a lot.

[@Chew_bacca1138]

fully agree with this.

[@davidanderberg9501]

I watched this from start to finish. What an amazing episode! Best one you’ve done yet, such an interesting story.

[@SpencerCookertin]

This was such a great guest and he was so incredibly knowledgeable. Awesome episode you guys.

[@Spyaallstar]

One of the most interesting listens I've heard. Shame it doesn't get more views because it's not mainstream content. Keeps these types of stories coming!

[@DavidPackouz]

Thanks! 😁

[@SageLykos]

This was one of my favorite podcasts period. Such an entertaining listen/watch. I love the movie and was always curious about the real story.

[@neelabhchoudhary2063]

One of the most interesting episodes I’ve heard! Keep it up guys!

[@robertbrown4762]

Another amazing episode! Please keep up the good work- loving the variation of guests and topics covered.

Awesome interview.

[@ThojPatriot]

Yes! Yes!. Loved the movie and I’m so glad you guys got David on the pod.

[@MiddleClassFamilyVideos]

This was the most interesting podcast listened too this year (2024). This is so in-depth from start to finish it makes me feel like I could be an arms dealer. :) Keep this content going.

[@Bolling0]

This was probably my favourite episode of all time. Great story. I feel very motivated to become an international arms dealer now....

[@Jam_Jon07]

My favorite interview on the internet by far

[@aimeevargas4016]

Government contracts is very interesting to me. State and federal levels.

[@thediydentalchairguy7269]

Thank you Munch for the insertion of your ad, even though Im a loser for paying for youtube red just to not listen to ads! It was super effective!😊

[@dwildman11]

So good!!! Great storytelling!!!

this is an AWESOME podcast!!! such a cool guest i love war dogs

[@Alexxerjov-qm8oq]

I literally met Efriam Diverolli yesterday and I took a picture with him. Today I watched this and Im not surprised about how you guys are describing him lol. He He was extremely charming and funny almost you couldn't tell that he's a psychopath lol

[@therainbro]

Has the Maxx Chewning podcast been scrapped?

[@punesh47fly]

Thank you fam , I had love this movie

[@tomkostopoulos5541]

Round 2 - bring em’ both on

[@austincobb2688]

This is one of the best and most interesting story I have heard

[@garyadamos]

woah thats so weird i just rewatched war dogs out of a whim and you guys upload this

[@MrScottyWelsch]

I would honestly love to hear his ex-partners side to this story. David seems like he's doing very well for himself these days in the safest way possible which I'm happy about!

[@stephenbevan5475]

Efraim has a book called Once A Gunrunner. He tells his side plus his story growing up, but this interview was pretty well done, especially this “part’s equivalent” portion, something that stood out in his book, about knight’s armament’s gun tail system. Honestly though, most of the book was him flaunting, wearing suits and smoking parliaments 🤣

[@Wonderlaust]

I have KZbin red and holy shit these ads are still too much, how much greedier can you get?

[@Dan16673]

Rly?

[@DavidMossMGS]

Have KZbin Premium, wish I could pay even money more so this video wouldnt have any ads of any kind

[@highnw2034]

You’re still left with the ads they include in the video. I have premium and feel like there were way too many ads included.

[@royfriend89]

Great podcast. Glad to get to know all these stuff about guns, money and the government. Don't bother with the people complaining for the adds, the content is great and Freeeeee. 👍👍

[@bdtravels5620]

I’m in gov con bidding on contracts and have been trying to win my first one. This is a great pod and packouz is a charismatic gold mine of information.

The Botach family is still in the arms sales business, now located in Nevada.

[@bahram_t]

the ads every 5 minutes really make this tough to listen to

[@maksxperia02]

Yes

[@Freshprankstv1]

Never seen an ad. Not too hard to pay 17 a month for KZbin premium.

[@alternate-alt]

Ftx fraudster. Run more ads.

[@OctavianAsix]

​@@Freshprankstv1 KZbin is an evil empire Why bolster their coffers

[@lifesimulator8902]

awsome pod

[@waleedabdulrab8779]

have Matthew Cox on! He is an amazing storyteller, and it would be a great episode!

[@ozkifovxvypyvp3574]

This was a great show, what an interesting guest. Should go checkout this movie at some point, and that course sounds interesting just from a knowledge perspective.

Like whatttt. Can't believe i listen to whole 3 hours of podcast 😂

[@dcwei-xu3wn]

Save the king package lol😂😂😂😂

[@Bradley38]

Graham asks excellent questions, and then lets him answer. Very good interviewer. A lot of podcasters and newscasters could learn a lot from Graham. I'm sure Graham studied up on how to be a good interviewer, which is probably why these podcasts are so good. These podcasts have gotten incredibly better lately, especially with very good guests!

[@Fricken1]

Love the way he says “huge”

[@DavidPackouz]

HUUUUUUUGE

[@ryanswag]

yuge

[@CartierCasey]

I’d be curious to hear Effram’s side

[@CartierCasey]

Efraim would be crazy to get on the podcast. Some basic google searching shows he has a $6mm Miami penthouse in his wife’s name.

[@jeromediktas3414]

Where did you find that information?

[@CartierCasey]

@@jeromediktas3414 not gonna doc somebody but he follows few people on his inactive insta and one is his wife. Look up her name and Miami’s address or even Florida address and they used to have a very nice single family home and seem to now have a small penthouse in the city. I could be mistaken but it’s a unique name and while he may be “douchey” or portrayed as an asshole I’d love to hear his side bc he still has millions even if he’s keeping a low profile and probably won’t do it.

[@CartierCasey]

@@jeromediktas3414 google has public records. Not gonna dox him but easy to find.

[@Ryan.G.Spalding]

Are you serious?!? He is selling courses?! Hahaha. I so want to take that.

[@DavidPackouz]

Do it! 🙌

[@financebae]

Insane! He’s a very good storyteller

[@DavidPackouz]

Thanks 😁

[@JonnyWinny]

How did you guys get in contact with him to interview David?

[@rubenhohls]

Boy they sure talked a lot about guns in this ad

[@CollinRowles]

Is this a re upload?

[@BlackExcellenceProductions]

Fascinating story

[@nikitaivanov7415]

I’m surprised this doesn’t have more views. Wow.

[@Shorts-78787]

Please fix the audio on the Apple Podcost. Compared to the normal audio, the ads are VERY loud. Leads to me turning up my volume all the way to hear the podcast then getting earblasted by the ads. Other than that I love listening to you guys

[@maksxperia02]

I listen your podcasts regularly, subscribe for KZbin premium. And you still manage 3 ads in 47minutes?!! You give great value. But where’s the humanity in that? I’m on the verge of stopping, or you on losing a trusted consumer!

[@RealEstateMagician52]

"Sky Daddy" 😂

[@maureenviola]

Thumbnail title is MISLEADING- great interview though

[@eamonshields2754]

War Dogs is a great movie

[@Going4BrokeOutdoors]

His explanation on cost plus is wrong. Theres an estimated cost up front. Say $50M for an F-35 and then a fee (profit) percentage is applied to the estimated cost. Lets say the parties agree to 5% fee on the $50m. The fee pool is then $2.5m. If it costs $70M to build the plane, there is no additional fee earned from $50-70m. The max fee (profit) that can be earned is the $2.5m even if there is a cost overrun on the originally estimated cost. A cost plus percentage of cost contract is illegal.

[@radiologyrevealed]

This is one of your best episodes, interesting it has low view numbers

[@DavidPackouz]

Agreed

[@jallen8862]

Super interesting :)

[@PhotoDaveJax]

[@zukileraphaelmomoza2553]

Efreim sounds 100% like the guy that used to mentor me. Like exactly the same!!

[@txterbug]

11:28 he doesn’t need a “sky daddy” to tell him what’s right from wrong lol but he fails to realize how he knows right from wrong in the first place

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

Can you prove your theory on it? No..

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

If right and wrong were the same across all countries, you'd have more ground to stand on. But it's not 😅

I just watched this movie for the first time yesterday -- so weird

[@zacpakozdi3427]

You should interview Mathew Cox

[@jayXIV]

Get Matthew Cox On !!

[@michaelbailey9857]

Really interesting interview and very cool - as someone who's religious, hearing "I don't need religion to know I shouldn't murder" hits better from Bo Burnham than an international arms dealer...

[@DavidPackouz]

Fair enough

[@zombiesoul-eater741]

awesome interview but what like 2 KZbin ads every 15 min? = 24 ads in 3 hours is just crazy

[@PrivacyDefend]

This guy got totally hosed 😭

[@brucerowe2895]

I find it interesting how somebody that knows how to make money, and loses it all can make back again. Trump is a great example. Of course David looks like he made a big come back. Congratulations and doing what you want to do.

[@RealEstateMagician52]

2:05:48 Give that man some more water
